There was 6 January 2021, and a violent coup attempt by a president desperately trying to cling to power. Then there was 24 July 2024, and a president explaining why he was giving up the most powerful job in the world.
Joe Biden’s address on Wednesday night was a moving piece of political theatre, the start of a farewell tour by “a kid with a stutter from modest beginnings” who entered politics in 1972 and made it all the way to the Oval Office. For diehard Democrats it was a case of: if you have tears, prepare to shed them now.
The speech was also a rebuke of his predecessor Donald Trump’s authoritarian impulses in both word and deed. Although he never mentioned his predecessor by name, Biden laid out two radically different visions of the US presidency set to clash again in November.
In 2020, the year of a global pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests and Trump trauma, Biden’s signature empathy born of personal tragedies made him the right man at the right time to heal hearts and defend democracy. In 2024, his time has passed. That he came to recognise it reluctantly, and decided to pass the baton, taught a lesson about the presidency that Trump will never learn.

The UK's Deep State.
And the citizens there don't have a Trump standing between them and theirs.

WHAT speech were they watching?
Let’s give Hollywood their due…….they do have some amazing makeup artists that can completely transform a face, then add the lighting wizards A quick call to Spielberg and we have a fresh, renewed and younger Joe Biden.
Look at his watch. It’s taped...not live.
Either taped earlier in the day, or even possibly a week ago.
It’s only amazing if you don’t notice it.
It was tapped earlier. They should have made him hold up a copy of yesterdays Washington Post.
They watched a different speech.
From replays I’ve seen ... it was The Twilight Zone, redux.
The author makes a lot of pro-Biden, anti-Trump arguments in this article but the fact remains - Biden is gone and Trump is stronger than ever. Biden is kicked out by his own party in an unprecedented humiliation and Trump has survived both a political, lawfare assassination attempt and a real assassination attempt.
Should have played “Ride of the Valkyries” during the speech.
It was very moving when Biden said “I am not seeking re-election.”
Oh wait—he never said that.
The Guardian of Communism.
I watched his delayed speech. Make up overdone to add color to the cadaver skin of his, seems like new fittings on his lower jaw teeth, and that same old whisper voice delivering every self-serving platitude, catchy juxtaposition and useless mission statement that one of his writers and ChatGPT can spit out.
The big question never asked or answered? If not running again is “for the good of the country,” “WHY is he still remaining in office?”
End result? Hardly anybody tuned in to watch it on YT.
Wrong, a lie. A "stop the steal" rally, by a president trying to correct the illegitimate results of a fraudulently decided election, infiltrated by ANTIFA and Occupy (who initiated the violence) and three letter dot gov agencies (who encouraged the violence). This writer is so full of crap his eyes are brown!
Ol’ Mumbles at his finest.
It’s good to know your opponent’s thinking.
One screen,two movies.
IT WAS ALSO PRE- RECORDED.
JILL IS IN PARIS
SHE WAS NOT AT THE WHITE HOUSE LAST NIGHT
